    If we can't make a universal healthcare plan work because "it's too expensive", can we farm out that bill to our allies? Have them help subsidize the bill?

    We're doing it for other countries at war. I would say that our health at home is up there on a level of importance on par with Ukraine's freedom. I know this is a bit short-sighted, and possibly unfair, but it's the truth, locally.


    I think it's time for people like Trump and others who are against universal healthcare to admit that our system is second rate and that our country is falling apart over this, and many other, causes.


    When is it time for America to quit acting like the greatest country on Earth, and start seeking help for its own, seemingly unsolvable (that have been solved elsewhere) problems?
